Happy Presidents Day. I thought that it was only fitting that I had a chat with Abraham Lincoln this morning at www.chatwithabe.com. Here is part of what we discussed:
___________________________________________
Abraham Lincoln: Hello.
You: good morning
Abraham Lincoln: Good morning, Friend.
You: you were the president
Abraham Lincoln: A wise man knows what he doesn't know. I would not say I was the greatest but I tried to be honest to the American people.
You: what number president were you
Abraham Lincoln: I was the 16th President of the United States of America.
You: did you like being the president
Abraham Lincoln: Leader of the free world is not a bad job but sometimes the pressure of the responsibility was overwhelming at times, especially during the war.
You: they have a sale going on at Macy's in your honor
Abraham Lincoln: I recently learned that the U.S. mint plans to update the penny, which currently bears my profile on the front and memorial on the back, in honor of the upcoming bicentennial of my birth. I've always felt honored to have my likeness on the coin, but I agree the hundred- year-old one cent piece could use a new look.

I would be more impressed with the penny thing too.
